The Dirty Mommy Club

Dirty Daddy works shift.  Not the 7-3/3-11 shifts.  Shifts that have him leaving at 5pm and coming home at 4am.  Thus, half the month Dirty Daddy isn't around for dinner, bath and bedtime.  The kids don't have any issues with this as it's all they've ever known.  But they still do miss their Daddy come bedtime.

To combat this, Bug gives Dirty Daddy a toy to take to work with him from time to time. The idea is he will take a picture of the toy at work and send it back to her throughout his shift.  Yesterday, Bug gave him a M&M figure to take with him.

Shortly after Dirty Daddy left, we got ourselves together to run some errands.  As I was buckling Bean up into her car seat in the kitchen, I hear Bug start to cry.  By the time she reaches me in the kitchen (which is 7 stairs away), she is crying like she lost her best friend.  Alas, the M&M was left behind. 

Bug was beside herself.  She wanted to call Dirty Daddy at work and have him come home to get it or have us drive to his work to drop it off to him.  Unfortunately neither were options as Dirty Daddy works in a car manufacturing plant and is neither allowed to leave or have visitors.

So, to calm her little broken heart, we decided to take the M&M with us on our doings.

First stop was my Mom's house to drop off a package.

Next up, shoe shopping.  

Then, off to the grocery store.  

As we went on our errands, we took pictures and sent them to Dirty Daddy to keep him up to date as Bug had asked to do.  He sent back messages that I shared with Bug and her heart was happy.

After the grocery store, we headed home.  Shoe and grocery shopping with 3 kids can shake your nerves a bit.  So when Dirty Daddy messaged me to ask what 'Captain M&M' was up to now, this is the picture I sent him.

His reply was 'Don't much like that little effer anymore'.

Ah, home for a rest.

Cheers Dirties.
